The Holocaust: The Nuremberg Laws

• Germans had racist attitudes towards Jews. Many of them blamed the Jews for Germany’s loss in World War I

• Nazis used their government power to target Jews. The Nuremberg Laws (1935) took away German Jews’ citizenship and forbid them to marry non-Jews. Later laws limited the type of jobs that Jews could have

• Germans violently attacked the Jewish community

• 100 Jews were murdered, 30,000 sent to concentration camps

• Shops, homes, and synagogues were destroyed

The Holocaust: The Final Solution

• The Final Solution was Hitler’s program designed to exterminate Jews, Roma, Poles, Russians, homosexuals, the mentally ill, the disabled, and the incurably ill. The government began targeting all Jews for extermination. This is called genocide- a targeted extermination of an entire group of people

• Nazis (Einsatzgruppen) went through towns and arrested men, women, and children. Some were shot in pits and buried. Others were taken to concentration camps, where they worked seven days a week with little food

• In 1942, the Nazis built extermination camps equipped with gas chambers. Upon arrival to the concentration camp, strong prisoners were allowed to live and work as slaves. Weak prisoners were sent to the gas chambers and murdered that day
